Main Ingredients- 100g chicken breast
- 1 bowl of brown or white rice (warm)
- 2 eggs
- 1 stalk of green onion
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 pinches of salt
- A pinch of black pepper
Seasoning- 1 Tbsp soy sauce (15ml)
- 1/2 Tbsp oyster sauce (7.5ml)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce (15ml)
- 1/2 Tbsp oyster sauce (7.5ml)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thinly slice the garlic into slivers for a fragrant aroma. Finely chop the green onion, preparing it to create a fragrant oil.
Step 2
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a bowl, sprinkle with 2 pinches of salt and a pinch of black pepper, and toss to marinate. This helps remove any gamey odors and makes the chicken breast more tender.
Step 3
Heat 1 Tbsp of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat and scramble the eggs. Stir gently while cooking to create soft scrambled eggs. Once cooked, transfer to a separate plate. This step adds a lovely texture to the fried rice.
Step 4
Lightly wipe the pan or use it as is. Add another 1 Tbsp of cooking oil to the pan. Add the chopped green onion and sliced garlic, and stir-fry over medium-low heat until fragrant and the green onions are slightly softened, taking care not to burn the garlic. This step is crucial for developing the depth of flavor in your fried rice.
Step 5
Once the aroma of the green onions and garlic is released, add the marinated chicken breast. Stir-fry over high heat quickly. It’s important to cook the chicken breast so that it’s browned on the outside yet remains juicy inside. Continue to stir-fry until the chicken breast turns opaque.
Step 6
When the chicken breast is fully cooked, add 1 bowl of warm rice, 1 Tbsp of soy sauce, and 1/2 Tbsp of oyster sauce. Using a spatula, gently mix the ingredients, breaking up any clumps of rice without mashing the grains. Ensure everything is evenly distributed. Stir-frying until the rice is coated with the sauces enhances the flavor.
Step 7
Finally, add the prepared scrambled eggs back into the pan and lightly toss everything together. Your delicious chicken breast fried rice is now complete! For an extra touch, you can garnish with sesame seeds or crumbled seaweed.
